My first CVS make-up haul

One of my favorite fashion/beauty bloggers, April made me want to run out of our house at 10pm and go to CVS to check out their 75% off deal. She got a lot of make-up for less than $50! You can find her haul here: http://aprilathena7.blogspot.com/2011/01/cvs-75-drugstore-cosmetic-sale.html.

I love make-up, but I don't go for the expensive stuff. I still can't convince myself to splurge on make-up, especially that I don't really wear tons of it everyday. Since I was jealous about April's haul, I went ahead and dropped by the nearest CVS after work last Sunday, January 9th. I only got a few items 'coz the store near my place didn't really have a lot of stuff on sale. I think the 75% deal depends on which store you go to. On my first visit, I saved a total of $19.62! Then, I had to visit another store near my workplace 'coz I figured they have a wider range of choices there and I was happy that I wasn't disappointed with what I have found on the sale section. I was able to get 6 items and I saved $39.98 and the cashier even gave me a free CVS care card. I'm not sure if that's for free, but I have never been given one since I moved here and they always ask me if I have one. So I guess I can get coupons with the card next time. Nice! :)

Here are the stuff I bought at CVS and I have realized that most of the make-up I got are from Revlon and Maybelline- I don't exactly know why.


1. Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow in Lavender Fields - $3.89 (I saved:$3.90)
2. Maybelline Cool Effect Cooling shadow/liner - $$3.25 (I saved-$3.54)
3. Maybelline Mineral Liquid concealer in medium beige- $4.39 (I saved- $4.40)


4. Revlon ColorStay Mineral Lipstick in Stay Ablaze: $2.45 (I saved$7.34)
5. Revlon ColorStay Mineral Bronzer in Golden Bronze: $ 3.49 (I saved$10.50)
6. Revlon Superlustrous gloss in Nude Lustre - this is my favorite gloss 'coz it's not sticky: $2.19 
(I saved$6.60)


7. Revlon Beyond Natural blush and bronzer in Nude: $2.99 (I saved $9.00)
8. Physician's formula Baked Eyeshadow in Baked Sugar: $2.07 (I saved$6.22)
9. Revlon 3D extreme Mascara in Black Noir: $2.69 (I saved $8.10)
My first trip to the store. I also got a dupe of OPI's Metro Chic nail polish. :)


Trip to the store part 2

I had a great time finding good deals! If you don't mind wearing drugstore brand make-up, rush to your nearest CVS and save a lot on your purchase!

Medical Examination at SLMCEC

November 9-10, 2009 This will be a blow by blow account of my medical exam that took place last week. If you want to be first in line, you can be there as early as 3am, but I went there at 5am because I wanted to make sure that I am safe while taking the exam and I don't want to wait in line for 2-3 hours. It was a good move, since they were already accepting applicants at 5am and I got in around 5:20am and I was the 54th applicant of the day. Make sure to have the following ready: 1. Passport 2. 4 2x2 visa pictures (they will only take 3 though, but I brought 4 since that's their requirement) 3. Original and photocopy of approval letter from the embassy 4. Print out of your interview schedule 5. Black ballpoint pen 6. Payment (213.35 - exchange rate is at 48) Flow chart: 1. At 5:30 I already got in and filled out the Patient Data Sheet form. Memorize your fiance's address and phone number or at least have a copy of it. 2. The guard called us up for the digital picture taki...

I'm not so evil after all

" I never got the chance to be your trainee, but I heard a lot of good things about you Ms. Dee." Reading this post from someone I barely even know made my heart flutter. I know that I have been totally brutal with my trainees when I was still working as a trainer back home 'coz I want them to be excellent in their field. I know I was hated by many 'coz I don't know how to kiss people's asses. I even almost got in trouble with our big boss when I was only passing a few people during interviews. A lot of people were mad at me 'coz of my unbelievable standards. A lot of times it did affect me and all I wanted was to please everyone, but I was also pushed by my one of my supervisors not to lower my standards. I got reprimanded for passing a few people during interviews by our big boss, and I got reprimanded by my direct supervisor for passing a lot of trainees during my class. I was totally confused when I was starting up in my new field. But time, experience...

New face same person

I changed the look of my blog today 'coz as I felt like I had to change the picture that I placed on my blog's header, since another year has been added to my exciting journey as a perpetually tanned Filipina. I had to admit though that I was way healthier and younger 2 years ago. I kept the picture on one of my folders to remind me that for once in my life I did fit into those tiny shorts and body hugging tops. My head did hurt from picking my new template. I checked out a lot of websites and I did like a lot of templates, but it took me awhile to pick the template which will suit the theme of my random rants. I picked this new look because it reminded me of my childhood days wherein I use any piece of paper to express how I feel. In the end, I had to burn those pieces of paper/compilations 'coz my mom always finds a way to read them and we usually end up in a very 'interesting' conversation. My mom is one detective I dare not cross and she will usually scavenge in...
